Hello again, it’s time for some creative fun today using string. We made a spider web painting with a painting tool I think I will call a “paint bow” (like bow and arrow) which I think is pretty cool! Ever since our art activity, we have been singing the “itsy bitsy spider.” Also while you have your string out, we have more fun things for you to do with it that I am excited to feature at this weeks Love to Learn Linky party. Thanks for joining us again, let’s get started! 🙂

Supplies:
String or yarn (We used some fuzzy yarn)
Small hanger
Duct tape
Paint
Black paper
Tray for paint
Glue
Glitter
Spider ring
Tissue paper/newspaper (optional)
Wax paper (optional)
Directions:
1. To make the painting bow, tape the string to the hanger. Make sure to wrap the string around the outside of the hanger, so the yearn will be flat against the paper when kids are painting.
2. To make it easier for the kids to get paint on their paint bows, I put a mound of tissue paper underneath the wax paper. Then I squirted paint on top of the wax paper. If your tray is larger, you may not need the tissue paper.
4. Once the paint has dried, use the glue to decorate the spider web with glitter. I gave Ms. Tiger the bottle of glue and let her squirt it as she pleased. Then I handed her the glitter and let her sprinkle/dump glitter on the glue. I shook the extra glitter into an empty file folder, and dumped the glitter back into the container.
